I received this box in the post this morning courtesy of @Emma C. from the BBA:
I took the cream for a trial lather having already shaved. I opted to use my Razorock Bruce synthetic and my Steve Woodhead Scuttle. I used my normal pea sized amount (rather than the BBA recommended walnut sized) and got the results in pics 2 and 3.
I'll be shaving with it tomorrow and seeing how it performs but initial impressions are good.
The scent is familiar - there is something of the Real Shaving Company cream scent to it yet more complex.
At £16 for the tub of cream it is priced between a tub of Taylor's and Trumpers. Tomorrow's shave will tell me whether it performs better than Taylor's and so whether it is priced (obviously in my opinion) correctly.
The branding of the company seems to be towards the 'metrosexual' gent rather than the 'retro sexual', traditional shaving gent like Taylor's et al.
That being said, I'm looking forwards to giving it a proper try tomorrow.
Thanks again to @Emma C. who seems to be very keen with connecting to this community.
